Although Li Gen was born in the Liuyang faction, he has been mixing with the people of the Inland River faction for a long time in his native area, although his heart has not changed, he is always inevitably influenced by the Inland River faction. Since the three major fleets in northern Manchuria did not have the kind of giant warships of the Nanyang Fleet, Li Gen naturally had no choice but to follow the customs of the locals and study the method of fighting based on high-speed mobile warships.

Determined to destroy the Japanese Combined Fleet in one fell swoop, Lee Gen immediately ordered the ships to adjust their formations from blockade to interception. The ships were very puzzled by Li Gen's sudden request for war, but the battlefield was not a meeting place, and there was no time for discussion at all, so they could only obey orders. The Japanese ships lined up in a long snake formation and cut in at an oblique angle, and the ships of the Yellow Sea Fleet, which had been scattered, could only outflank them from both flanks. Li Gen's flagship, the Leng Lu, simply pointed directly at the Japanese flagship Fuso, and blocked the way of the Japanese ships head-on.

"Commander, this formation...... It's not suitable! "Shao Shijie is also a cadre of the inland river faction, and when a pile of wooden boats smashed the Americans, he served in the Manchurian Navy. Although he is a political cadre, his command level is not low, and he found at a glance that there was a problem with the formation that Li Gen had temporarily adjusted.

Naval warfare is different from land warfare, no matter how mobile everyone is in land warfare, cities and positions are fixed, but naval warfare is completely different. There are no terrain restrictions at sea, everyone moves at high speed, and tactics such as outflanking have little meaning at sea. After the Yellow Sea Fleet outflanked the Japanese ships from both flanks, everyone was moving forward at high speed, and after a while, they all ran behind each other's backs. At that time, it was a battleship of the Leng Lu, and it was four Japanese ships alone.

"If you are unprepared, you will fight at this time!" Li Gen also wanted to adjust the formation, but where would there be time to make full preparations for the war, and when his eight warships were ready, the Japanese would not know where to go.

"But ......" Shao Shijie really doesn't know what to say, Li Gen's routine is really unexpected, and he can't even think of his own people, let alone the Japanese, but it's too risky.

"After entering the firing range, the ships concentrated their firepower and attacked the Japanese ship Naniwa with all their might. After passing the enemy fleet, the left flank turned to the right and the right flank turned to the left, pursuing the enemy ships from behind, striking with all the strength of the enemy ships that fell behind. Li Gen drew on the chart and explained his tactics.

Li Gen made full use of the speed advantage of the Manchurian warships, and after being caught off guard by the Japanese in the first round, the two wings immediately turned separately and turned around to pursue the Japanese army. On average, the speed of the Manchurian ships was about eight knots faster than that of the Japanese ships, and they could quickly catch up with the Japanese army, readjust the fleet formation, and the first round of attacks became ready-made cheap.

"Let's call Fuso first! He is the main force of the Japanese ship! Shao Shijie didn't understand it again, the so-called snake fight seven inches, the first round of attack should rely on the main force of the first move to abolish the Japanese ship!

"It's useless, hit the wave speed first, when he made contact just now, he was the most flexible in dodging, and the speed was also the fastest, the first one to scrap him first!" Li Gen very arbitrarily rejected Shao Shijie's conscientious advice.

At the critical moment of the war, Li Gen didn't have time to explain more, he could only act arbitrarily. At the time of the Manchurian and British naval battles, the armor technology of the British was very imperfect, so they were tyrannized by the Nanyang Fleet and the Bohai Fleet, but now the situation has long changed. After years of research, the British have perfected their armor protection system, and although they are still a little nervous in the face of the ferocious artillery fire of North Manchuria, it is by no means the Wuxia Amon of yesterday. The displacement of the Fuso is more than nine thousand tons, and the level of armor protection is quite high, and it is simply impossible for the Yellow Sea Fleet to solve him in an instant. It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, and the Fusang can't be taken down for a while, so it is better to kill a few little guys around him first, and then everyone will beat him together.

The Japanese flagship, the Fuso, changed its flag and raised the flag of fleet alert, and they also discovered that the Manchurian Army seemed to have the possibility of attacking them. The captain of the Fuso, Arai Yougong Naval Officer, held a telescope and stared intently at the Leng Lu, for fear of missing the signal sent from the Leng Lu. In this era, the navy still used the flag as the main means of communication, and Arai Yougong thought that he could predict the actions of the Manchurian Navy by keeping an eye on the change of the flag of the Leng Lu. It's a pity that technology has changed the world, and the Manchurian Navy has long since used flags to convey orders, they use radio.

"Attack!" All ships entered the best firing positions, and Li Gen decisively gave the order to attack.

The cruiser Asaka, as well as the destroyers Lin Jiang and Yunri and other seven battleships, all of their main and auxiliary guns had already aimed at the Naniwa, and with the order transmitted by the radio waves, the overwhelming artillery fire was greeted in an instant. The fire control system of the Manchurian naval guns has reached the level of the early stage of World War II in the previous life of Guoxing'a, and the training of the sailors of each ship is very sufficient, so the quasi-head naturally has nothing to say. Of the more than 50 shells, less than 20 were missed, and all the others were hailed to the Naniwa. * Tearing open the hull of Naniwa, the high-explosive bomb destroyed Naniwa's superstructure, and the incendiary sheet pulled Naniwa into billowing smoke. However, the armor level of the British has really been greatly improved, and the Naniwa was instantly beaten like a bear, basically losing its combat ability, but it did not capsize and sink, and it can still float and follow the fleet.

The Yoshino and Kongo reacted very normally, and both fired back at the first opportunity, but their shooting skills were far from perfect. The so-called fire control system is all aimed at with the naked eye, and the accuracy of the artillery is almost a. The Fuso's also used secondary guns to return fire on both flanks, and the results were achieved, and the stern of the Asahi was hit by them. However, the power of their shells was really a bit cold, and the 150-millimeter large-caliber guns were all unqualified in armor-piercing and explosive capabilities, and although they overturned the two sailors on the Zhao Ci, the hull was hardly injured.

"Two forces!" Li Gen was very satisfied with the Japanese army's counterattack and spoke highly of it.

The ships on both wings, Chaoci and Yunri, all rushed over at high speed, ran to the back of the Japanese ships and turned around, and the Japanese opened fire at such a time It was really silly and cute. Everyone understands that it is very difficult to shoot an object moving at high speed in the opposite direction, and the calculation will be much more off. The Japanese army shot at this time, completely fighting for faith, but they were lucky enough, and they were still stunned to resign.

The reason why it was unwise for the Japanese to return fire on both flanks was because directly opposite them, there was a very embarrassing existence - the Leng Lu. The Leng Lu is crashing straight into the Fuso, this is the best target, if the Japanese ships gather fire, the probability of the Leng Lu being hit is definitely much higher than that of the Chao Ci. Three to one is not cheap, and the Japanese are really stupid and cute. With the reloading speed of the Japanese artillery, they had absolutely no chance, and completing the reloading before the Leng Lu rushed through their firing range was tantamount to giving up a great opportunity in vain.

"Snake evasion!" Fleet Commander Li Gen can scold the Japanese for being forced twice, but Wang Zhengmin, the captain of the Leng Lu, is not in the mood for this, and the four 304 mm main guns of the Fusang have not yet fired!

Counterattacking the warships such as the Asa Ci was the instinctive reaction of the Japanese ships, and the acting fleet commander Arai Yugong had no time to stop it, but he kept pressing his main gun and did not move, just to deal with the Leng Lu. If you want to hit the Leng Lu, which is swaying left and right, four salvos are undoubtedly a good way, but Arai Yugong is very aware of the level of his artillery, so he chooses to shoot four guns separately. Hit four times, and the probability of being confused is also greater. The Leng Lu kept approaching, but it didn't fire for a long time, and Arai Yugong couldn't figure out what his opponent was thinking, but he had to cherish his chance.

"......Boom" The main gun of the Fuso let out the first roar, and looking at the landing point of the shells, Arai Yougong, who commanded the tower, wanted to give the artillerymen two slaps. This is too far away, and the visual inspection is more than a kilometer.

The second shot of the "Boom ......" also went out, this time it was a little better, only less than 500 meters, but Arai Yougong was not happy, and the Leng Lu had already approached them for 3,000 meters.

The "Boom ......" Leng Lu approached 1,500 meters, and the Fusang let out a third roar, and the water column was not 20 meters away from Leng Lu, but it still did not hit.

"Wait for the best firing position!" Arai Yugong called off the fourth shot, and he guessed what the Leng Lu was going to do.

The prototype of the Fuso is the British Ravage, and the armor thickness of the armor area of the ship's waist is nearly 300 millimeters. The Manchurian Navy, whether it is a cruiser or a destroyer, has only one hundred and fifty-eight mm guns of the largest caliber, and even if it is used, it is difficult to gnaw at it at long distances. Therefore, Li Gen was going to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese ship's large number of artillery reloads to play a big one, he wanted to get as close as possible to the Fuso, and then shoot at close range. Shooting at close range, even if it can't penetrate the armor of the Fuso, can still give their weapon system a good baptism of imperialism.

"him!" The two ships reached nearly 1,500 meters, almost in a parallel position, and Li Gen gave the order to attack.

The four twin 158-mm naval guns, eight 127-mm naval guns, four six-mounted 120-mm rocket launchers, sixteen twin 37-mm machine guns, and twelve 12.7-mm heavy machine guns all began to pour their firepower on the Fusang like a storm. There was a rain of steel on the Fuso, and it was like a fireworks festival, but in short, no one was visible in an instant.

"Shoot!" Arai Yugong's conning tower was also greeted by a 127-millimeter shell, and he ordered the firing of his own treasure at the bottom of the box, despite the blood of his head.

The two ships staggered for a moment, and then they parted with billowing smoke. The armor of the Fuso was really not covered, and not a single shell missed, and the Fuso still stood up. The Leng Lu was also hit, and the three hundred and four mm shells exploded in his stern, although it was not in the middle, but it also made him embarrassed. However, in the end, Leng Lu won this exchange of blood. More than 200 people were killed in an instant, the main guns were almost completely destroyed, and the Leng Lu was only seven wounded.
